Section 10-A1706. PROJECTIONS

 

1706.1Based on land availability, planning policies, and regional growth trends, Far Northeast and Southeast is projected to begin adding households, population, and jobs during the next five years and continue growing through 2025. The Planning Area is expected to grow from 29,700 households in 2005 to 35,200 households in 2025, with an attendant 20 percent increase in population from 69,900 to 83,800. Although this is roughly the same number of residents the Area had in 1990, the addition of over 5,000 new homes (including more than 1,000 homes on former public housing sites at Capitol Gateway Estates and Eastgate Gardens, and infill development at Kenilworth-Parkside) will bring new vitality and energy to the community. Much of the growth in Far Northeast and Southeast is expected to consist of new low-density housing, particularly on vacant single family lots in Deanwood and Marshall Heights. Moderate-density housing and mixed use development will be concentrated around the Metro stations, on redeveloped public housing sites, and along corridor streets. 1706.1

 

1706.2The number of jobs is expected to increase from about 12,400 today to 16,100 in 2025. Most of the increase will take place around the Minnesota Avenue Metro station, at Kenilworth-Parkside, at the revitalized Skyland Shopping Center, and along East Capitol Street. 1706.2
